The nose is a bit muted at first, so give this time to open up before getting serious. Aroma is minerals, earth, citrus, black pepper, and caramelized agave. Flavor and finish are the best part. More cooked agave, olive, brine, and earthy. Finish is a long olive and brine sensation that I really enjoy. Mouthfeel is thick. Patrón deserves credit for releasing a product like this. (This is not a paid review, and I purchased the bottle in a random retail store. Just making that clear.)
